Wiki day!

Wikis are awesome. Editable conglomerations of random assorted knowledge. What could be better?

Here's a Baja California travel wiki that really needs some editing help. I mean, come on, this is all you can find to say about the food?
"Baja is famous for fish tacos; there is some disagreement about whether they were "invented" in San Felipe or Ensenada - try both and make up your own mind! Mexicali's Chinese restaurants are well-known."
Give them some help! Put in your favorite taco spot. Ours is definitely Lalo's in La Rumorosa...

Another awesome wiki I ran across lately is the one on Wired.com.  They have all kinds of great topics covered, like How to Use a Plastic Garbage Bag for Survival

Other good topics:
There are a bunch of pretty entertaining wikis, from Wikibooks, which is dedicated to open-content textbooks on all kinds of disciplines, to Wikihow, where you can learn how to make a zoetrope.

Lastly, you should probably check out Wiki's Best,  which documents some of the glorious things that happen on Wikipedia.  Ferret Legging? Really?
